A number of electrons.
the number of electons found in each shell can be found by 2 n squared 1 shell would have 2 electrons
8
According to one of Lewis' theories, each shell has a maximum number of electrons using the formula 2n2 where n = the shell number. For example: 1st shell = 2(1)2 = 2 electrons maximum; 2nd shell = 2(2)2 = 8 electrons maximum.
The number of electrons in each shell surrounding the nucleus is determined by the shell's energy level. The first shell can hold up to 2 electrons, the second shell can hold up to 8 electrons, the third shell can hold up to 18 electrons, and so on.
The largest atom is calcium which has 4 shells.
To determine how many electrons are in each shell (or energy level), you simply take two times the number of the shell or level squared. Two electrons are allowed in the first shell, eight in the second shell, eighteen in the third shell, thirty two in the fourth shell, fifty in the fifth shell, seventy two in the fifth shell, and so on.
Maximum number of possible electrons in each shell: K - 2 L - 8 M - 8 N - 18
The third shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 18 electrons. This shell consists of three subshells - s, p, and d - with each subshell being able to accommodate a certain number of electrons. The s subshell can hold up to 2 electrons, the p subshell can hold up to 6 electrons, and the d subshell can hold up to 10 electrons, totaling 18 electrons in the third shell.
If you are asking about the number of electrons then it would be 8. The first shell can hold a maximum number of 2 electrons. The second and third shell would have a maximum of 8 electrons each.
It depends on the element in question. The outer most shell of electrons will hold the remainder of the electrons after all inward shells are filled. The first shell will only hold up to 2 electrons. After each shell holds up to 8 electrons (if the atomic number is <20).
Yes, the different shells in an atom correspond to distinct energy levels where electrons can be found. Each shell can only hold a certain number of electrons, and they are filled in order of increasing energy. The shells are designated by letters (K, L, M, etc.) and are further divided into subshells based on shape (s, p, d, f).
Electrons are located in specific energy levels around the nucleus of an atom. These regions are known as electron shells or orbitals. Each shell can hold a certain number of electrons based on its energy level.
